I was banded 12/7/05 and have lost 68 pounds. I had a hysterectomy 4/10/06 and my weight loss slowed down because I cannot exercise right now because of the surgery. I can't eat red meat anymore. For the most part, I can eat chicken if it's moist and chew it well, but at times, it does bother me. I recently went to a local butcher who makes his own pork sausage. I asked him if he can make me sausage with chicken breast meat and he did. (most chicken sausage in the store is made with chicken legs and thighs). It was delicious. This week I asked him if he could make sausage patties with chicken breast and he did. They were wonderful on the grill. The family loved it as well. Ask your local butcher if he will make sausage with chicken breast meat. I highly recommend it. It's grounded up and goes down great!! Sharon

I was banded 12/7. I have lost 28 pounds in one month. I have been faithful exercising. I swim at the local Y, treadmill, and today even road my bike 4 miles in the cold (from Connecticut). I get my first fill January 16. Right now, however, I'm in a slump and haven't been loosing any weight. I'm going to Hawaii in February and hope to loose a few more pounds before I go. Good luck to all!

I'm new to this site. I had my lap band surgery 12/7/05. What is PB that everyone keeps mentioning? Sharon
